OneDive stops synchronising after Windows 10 upgrade

After a few days, I realised that files I was creating and modifying in my OneDrive folder were not synchronising with any of my other Windows computers (a mixture of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1)

After hunting around the ‘net for a while, the only things I could find assumed that OneDrive was running but that Sync had stopped – however, in my case, OneDrive wasn’t even running

OneDrive is supposed to be integrated with Windows 10 – yes there have been some changes and not all for the better from Windows 8 but I would assume that it would at least work

When I searched for OneDrive (using Windows search) all I could find was the OneDrive folder, so I decided to reinstall OneDrive. I downloaded the Windows 7 app from the OneDrive website and ran it. OneDrive started up and my files synchronised – sorted

Or so I though

The next day OneDrive had stopped again. Running the setup file restarted it, but I really didn’t want to have to do this every time I started my computer, so this is what I did

Right click on the OneDrive cloud icon and select “Settings”

Click on Unlink OneDrive (while you are at it make sure that “Start OneDrive automatically when I sign in to Windows” is checked.)

Right Click on the OneDrive cloud icon and select “Exit”

Move your OneDrive folder out of C:\Users\username (I just moved it to the desktop)

Run OneDrive setup again and allow it to recreate the OneDrive folder

Oddly, OneDrive started fine on my other Windows 10 computer – it may just be that I forgot to check the “Start OneDrive automatically when I sign in to Windows” box in settings
